>You can be damn sure the government has a list of possible email addresses associated to individuals.
things the government knows, and things that a CBP agent knows, are not the same thing. They NSA doesn't just provide their database to all the hundreds of thousands of front-line law enforcement agents. If you're being specifically targeted for some reason, enforcement agencies might be provided with a history of your social media activity, but it's unlikely that they can just pull it up when they type in your drivers license number.
When you say parent is wrong, you're saying that the 100k border patrol grunts can access NSA data easily, which is not the case. So you are the wrong one.
This doesn't give other agencies the ability to just grab any NSA data. It just means the NSA doesn't have to filter data before passing it on.
Could you imagine if it were that easy to get info on any citizen? What's to stop a spy/traitor from becoming a border patrol guard, downloading all the info and selling it?
